Guardad bv Ghosts

In the Squaw Peak range, Arizona,
is cave which no prospectOr has the
nerve to attempt to explore, on account
of it being guarded by ghosts. In the
enterance sits a tn NC that looks like
the corpse of an Indian woman. In
1868 party of white, found the cave
filled with Tonic Indians. whom they
attacked and murdered. Since then no
one has had the courage to try to enter
the cave because of the thing that sits
in its door. Last week George Mat
thews and his partner, named McCloud,
being in the range concluded TO have a
look at the squaw cave, not having any
faith in the stories told of it. The cave
is situated under the highest butte OF
the Squaw Peak range. They found it
and just took one look at the thing
sitting in its mouth. TIE Herald says:
Matthews declares there is not money
enough in Maricopa county to pay him
to 60 there again, and his partner,
McCloud. has not stopped running
since-at least. he has not been seen
since that time"

A correspondent sends the following ~

Bridge was blowing on thefarm OF Thomas

used to move. George went in front OF
hem to see what WAS wrong when he dis
owed large black shake stretched across
he iurrow. He requested his boy to bring
him fence rail, but in the meantime the
'eptile took down the hill. Mr.. Bridge and
his boy following. At the foot OF the hill
he snake attempted to crawl into a stone
)ile, when the boy grabbed it by the tail,
out with all his strength he could not pull
out. Mr.. Rridge. at this iuncturc, caught
he boy by the coat tail, and they both
pulled, and after some effort his snakeship
vas pulled out. But no sooner was he out
han he proceeded to wrap himself around

ut the reptile in two before the boy could

Consumption, Wasting Diseases.

And General Debility. Doctors disagree as
to the relative value of Cod Liver Oil and
Hypophosphites; the one supplying
strength and flesh, the other giving nerve
power, and acting as a tonic to the diges-
tive and entire system. But in SCoTT's
EMULSION OF Cod Liver Oil with Hypo-
phosphites the two are combined and the
effect is wonderful. Thousands who have
derived no permanent benefit from other
preparations have been cured by this.
Seott's Emulsion is perfectly palatable
and is easily digested by those who cannot
tolerate plain Cod Liver Oil.

Cigars More Than Fifty Years Old.

About the year 1882 Mrs. Joshus Blake,
wife OF Joshua Blake, OF an old mercantile
house on Central wharf, sent her son
Joshua Blake, jr., then an officer in the
United States navy, stationed at Jamaica,
a box of Havana cigars. His vessel left
Jamaica before the arrival OF the package,
and it was retained in the custom house
there thirty-five years. Subsequently it
was sent to the New York custom house,
where it remained twenty more years. 1t
was then brought to light and recently came
into possession OF its rightful owner, Mr.
Joshua Blake, OF this city, who has tested
the quality OF a sample cigar 90 years old,
and found it had not deprecated in quality.

FROM day to day we learn how little
we can do to please the great multi
tude. From week to week we learn
how feeble is our power to accomplish
that we wish to or would like to ac-
complish, and how great is the need of
forebearance and charity upon the part
of our neighbOrs and our friends. We
learn also that reason and reflection
should govern our action and our writ
ing rather than feeling and impulse.
This is busy world, and the times are
changeable, but withal improving as
our grand country improves; still there
never was more need of sober, thorough
reflection than these same times of adj
vancement when we know not what
surprises the morrow may bring forth.
However, by striving always to retain
the good opinion of those with whom
we are associated we hope to gain a
more permanent footing in the hearts
of the people, and to retain their con-
fdence in the earnestness Of our en-
deavor to work always to the best in
terests of Great Bend and Barton
county.

Those eastern dudes that come out
to this western country hunting chances
to get ahead would better have left
their Ill manners at home. 1t is not
grateful, to say the least, to make
sport of western people and their ways,
and continually to be referring to the
better and more desirable things
"back east" The east is good enough,
but it can't hold candle to the west
in all that goes to make life worth
living. If perchance our western well
wafer isn't quite so sweet as some
spring water back east, at least the
drinking of the former makes open
hearted people who are free from suob-
bishness-this at least is the kind Of
people we have here. If the fish In
western waters do not flop their tails
quite so nearly graceful as Delsorte
would teach the. fish which swim in
eastern ponds, they at least when dish
ed up assimilate into more backbone
in those who eat them than is to be
found in the land that lies nearer to.
the sunrise. The poor little spirit of
fault-fnding occasionally displayed by
the dudes referred to doesn't particular.

But it is disgusting. Ed.
